Pre-flight Wing Check

Caught this Blue-winged Teal out at the marsh doing a little pre-flight wing stretching.

the reflection in the bkgd compliments the bird's lower wings here - nice. Love the bird's colour.

Very well captured.

This is great HBG. So much to like about this - the pose with wings out and head up - colour & sharpness are spot on - the reflection and water ripples are great. Love it

Nice. I also like the green from the wing reflected in the water.

So perfect. It even makes me feel the duck is looking at me proud of being able to fly :)

Lovely details as usual and a very nice composition. :thumbup:

Thank you all so very much for the compliments. Very appreciated.

As with all your bird picsHB,this shot is fantastic..........:thumbup:
